Dominant colour
Ciel de Paris is a 1957 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Stone, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from the back, wearing a long dress with vertical pleats and rows of button loops down the front. Her arms are crossed, and she stands on one leg. Next to her is a smaller drawing of the same dress, folded to show the front view. The lines are simple and loose, with light shading for shadows. The title *Ciel de Paris* is written in the corner—it might hint at a connection to Paris, though the drawing itself is plain. The sketch feels quick, like a fashion idea jotted down fast.
